Pokémon Dream Radar Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

Posting it here as it acts similar to the Dream World, Pokéwalker etc. despite being a seperate game in itself

Discuss and speculate the specifics of the downloadable game: Pokémon AR Searcher.

This game is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS and provides downloads of Pokémon captured within the games. Capturing is done by searching with the 3DS camera in the "Dream Valley", an area between the Pokémon world and the real world. You're asked by Professor Burnett to aid in the investigations of the area.

Does this thing have a known system for how pokemon appear? I mean, like having a basic assortment of pokemon like Ralts or Wooper to encountering ones like the Sacred Beast Formes later on? I don't know, there needs to be at least some balance there.

So if this speculated to become an alternative to the Dream World, what becomes of the Dream World locations if that's the case? They could easily just have most pokemon in the Dream Radar. I dunno. It seems like a better alternative. But I agree there needs to be a limit somewhere.

As of December 13, I lost my copy of Alpha Sapphire, and over half of my competitive Pokemon and shinies + event legendaries with it. The worst f*** up in my entire life.

We currently don't know, but I think there will be a storyline of some sort. Then as we go along, we unlock more Pokemon.

If this is a replacement to the dream world, then why is Game Freak/ Nintendo upgrading the website for Global Link and adding new areas like Cold Cave? It wouldn't be surprising if they did though, just to boost sales for the 3DS.

Some pokemon I hope are attainable with the AR seacher is starter pokemon, even tho I know it's wishful thinking... but heck I've been waiting for the DW starters to be relased for english games ever since b/w was released last year!

Welcome to the Pokemon World. Learn the commandments of Pokemon Equality
1) One loves the idea of Pokemon and their existence
2) One only looks down upon a certain Pokemon after giving them a fair look and use
3) One does not hate a certain generation because of a few Pokemon
4) One does not be use backwards logic to hate Pokemon
5) One must realize every gen has its awesome designs, and terrible designs.
6) One must love Blaziken
Blaziken 5 lyfe, because 5>4

Personally I think that you are going to have to find it in the room and shoot whatever the beam is at it until the bar goes all the way down, and then you'll have it scanned or something (remembering that it is a dream) and then perhaps you have the choice to send it to the game, it will cost probably 10 play coins (3DS currency for anyone who doesn't know, most apps and games use them in some way, 100 steps walked = 1 coin, with a maximum of 10 coins per day) so that you can catch/scan as many as you want, but only afford to send one per day. Anyone somewhat agree?

We already know all the Hidden abilities and Politoed and Kyogre are the only ones with Drizzle.

We know all the Dream World abilities because all the information is programmed in BW. I do believe the Dream World operates similarly to the Pokewalker, where no Pokemon are actually sent out of the game card, small amounts of info are just transferred back and forth to tell the game what it needs to update.

That said, the Dream Radar is a new application, so it could theoretically have its own, new and independent set of abilities and attacks for Pokemon received from it. Not saying it will, but it is possible.

Na it can't. That'd screw up the base code of the games and damage compatibility with BW. It may include more Hidden Abilities, sure, but by that I mean Pokémon that are unreleased
